First Hand-Painted Water Color QR Code: “Portal to the Unknown”

Featuring 7 carnivorous plants: Rafflesia Arnoldii, Sundew, Voodoo Lily, Venus Flytrap, Sarracenia Leucophylla, Nepenthes Truncata and Nepenthes Rafflesianaan.

3 of the illustrations have embedded Quick Response (QR) codes, that once scanned with a mobile device, will reveal the entire time-lapse video to show process of making the artwork.

My passion is to bridge the gap between art and technology; by transforming the computer language into a visual language, the QR code enabled-artworks allow the users to interact with the art it self, and the technology serves as a portal to showcase the creative process, which enhances the users art viewing experience.
